Famous Single Quotes



I am so clever that sometimes don’t understand a single word of what I am saying.

Oscar Wilde

We have forty million reasons for failure, but not a single excuse.

Rudyard Kipling

Single is the time when you learn to give yourself closure, confidence, and compliments. It’s not easy — but it’s the kind of strength no one can take away from you.

If one had but a single glance to give the world, one should gaze on Istanbul.

Alphonse de Lamartine

Being single is when you stop searching for replacements and start rebuilding from the inside out.

Being single teaches you how to be emotionally fluent — how to sit with yourself, understand your patterns, and name what you feel without running from it. You learn that self-love isn’t a slogan; it’s a daily practice of showing up. In the stillness, you notice where you’ve healed and where you still ache. That’s not failure — that’s honesty. And honesty is the soil where real love grows later.

Mankind is not a circle with a single center but an ellipse with two focal points of which facts are one and ideas the other.

Victor Hugo

Sometimes single is temporary, sometimes it’s a lifestyle — either way, it’s valuable.

Masterpieces are not single and solitary births; they are the outcome of many years of thinking in common, of thinking by the body of the people, so that the experience of the mass is behind the single voice.

Virginia Woolf

Galileo Galilei

As one digs deeper into the national character of the Americans, one sees that they have sought the value of everything in this world only in the answer to this single question: how much money will it bring in?

Alexis de Tocqueville

As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.

Henry David Thoreau

The ideal reasoner, he remarked, would, when he had once been shown a single fact in all its bearings, deduce from it not only all the chain of events which led up to it but also all the results which would follow from it.

Arthur Conan Doyle

The strength of the Constitution lies entirely in the determination of each citizen to defend it. Only if every single citizen feels duty bound to do his share in this defense are the constitutional rights secure.

Albert Einstein

It has always been my practice to cast a long paragraph in a single mould, to try it by my ear, to deposit it in my memory, but to suspend the action of the pen till I had given the last polish to my work.

Edward Gibbon

Man is more disposed to domination than freedom; and a structure of dominion not only gladdens the eye of the master who rears and protects it, but even its servants are uplifted by the thought that they are members of a whole, which rises high above the life and strength of single generations.

Wilhelm von Humboldt

Albert Einstein

Single life: all the sparkle, none of the drama.

I do not take a single newspaper, nor read one a month, and I feel myself infinitely the happier for it.

Thomas Jefferson

Being single gives you time to understand that healing isn’t linear. Some days you’ll glow with confidence; other days you’ll trip over memories. Both are progress. The point isn’t to forget — it’s to remember differently.
